The film that I had the immense honor of being one of the main creators of has been awarded in the Outstanding Sports Camera Work category.
This is an absolutely incredible day for me — not only because of this award, but above all because my son was born today. And honestly, the biggest award today should go to my wife, Basia. For her strength, her love, and simply for being who she is.
I would like to sincerely thank Andrzej Bargiel — for all these years of shared adventures, for his trust, and for convincing me to join this expedition after all.
Thank you to Daria Woszek, our director, for her vision and sensitivity in telling this story.
Thank you to Michał Pukowiec, our DOP, for his incredible eye, calmness, and the enormous amount of work he put into building the visual side of this film.
Huge thanks as well to Bartek Pawlikowski for his outstanding photo editing skills and for giving the visuals their final unique character.
Thank you to Maciek Sulima for helping at Camp Two, for changing and charging batteries, for the support when every minute mattered — and even for helping me to prepare food ewhen my hands were busy flying the drone.
Thank you to Passang for climbing higher and capturing several very important shots.
Thank you to Sandro and Manish for the inspiration, the good vibe, and for pushing so hard to reach higher with such dedication.
Thank you to Tomek Gaj for the essential logistics — without which none of this would have been possible.
And thank you to everyone who took part in this expedition. Every person, every decision, and every hour of work mattered.
Special thanks to Red Bull and East Studio for their support, trust, and for helping bring this project to life on such a high level.
This award means something truly special to me, but what matters most is that I had the chance to be part of this story — as a filmmaker, a brother, and a human being.
